A. 3 Author for correspondence ( [email protected] ) Communicating Editor: Lynn Bohs Abstract— Convergent evolution driven by adaptation to arid habitats has made it difficult to identify monophyletic taxa in the cheilanthoid ferns. Dependence on distinctive, but potentially homoplastic characters, to define major clades has resulted in a taxonomic conundrum: all of the largest cheilanthoid genera have been shown to be polyphyletic. Here we reconstruct the first comprehensive phylogeny of the strictly New World cheilanthoid genus Argyrochosma . We use our reconstruction to examine the evolution of farina (powdery leaf deposits), which has played a prominent role in the circumscription of cheilanthoid genera. Our data indicate that Argyrochosma comprises two major monophyletic groups: one exclusively non-farinose and the other primarily farinose. Within the latter group, there has been at least one evolutionary reversal (loss) of farina and the development of major chemical variants that characterize specific clades. Our phylogenetic hypothesis, in combination with spore data and chromosome counts, also provides a critical context for addressing the prevalence of polyploidy and apomixis within the genus. Evidence from these datasets provides testable hypotheses regarding reticulate evolution and suggests the presence of several previ- ously undetected taxa of Argyrochosma.

  • Four Western Cheilanthoid Ferns in Oklahoma
    Oklahoma Native Plant Record 65 Volume 10, December 2010 FOUR WESTERN CHEILANTHOID FERNS IN OKLAHOMA Bruce A. Smith McLoud High School McLoud, Oklahoma 74851 Keywords: arid, distribution, habitat, key ABSTRACT The diversity of ferns in some of the more arid climates of western Oklahoma is surprising. This article examines four Oklahoma cheilanthoid ferns: Astrolepis integerrima, Cheilanthes wootonii, Notholaena standleyi, and Pellaea wrightiana. With the exceptions of A. integerrima and P. wrightiana which occur in Alabama and North Carolina respectively, all four species reach their eastern limits of distribution in Oklahoma. Included in this article are common names, synonyms, brief descriptions, distinguishing characteristics, U.S. and Oklahoma distribution, habitat information, state abundance, and a dichotomous key to selected cheilanthoids.

  • Toward a Monophyletic Notholaena (Pteridaceae): Resolving Patterns of Evolutionary Convergence in Xeric-Adapted Ferns
    Rothfels & al. • Toward a monophyletic Notholaena TAXON 57 (3) • August 2008: 712–724 FERN SYSTEMATICS Toward a monophyletic Notholaena (Pteridaceae): resolving patterns of evolutionary convergence in xeric-adapted ferns Carl J. Rothfels1*, Michael D. Windham1, Amanda L. Grusz1, Gerald J. Gastony2 & Kathleen M. Pryer1 1 Department of Biology, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina 27708, U.S.A. *[email protected] (author for correspondence) 2 Department of Biology, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana 47405, U.S.A. Cheilanthoid ferns (Pteridaceae) are a diverse and ecologically important clade, unusual among ferns for their ability to colonize and diversify within xeric habitats. These extreme habitats are thought to drive the extensive evolutionary convergence, and thus morphological homoplasy, that has long thwarted a natural classification of cheilanthoid ferns. Here we present the first multigene phylogeny to focus on taxa traditionally assigned to the large genus Notholaena. New World taxa (Notholaena sensu Tryon) are only distantly related to species occurring in the Old World (Notholaena sensu Pichi Sermolli). The circumscription of Notholaena adopted in recent Ameri- can floras is shown to be paraphyletic, with species usually assigned to Cheilanthes and Cheiloplecton nested within it. The position of Cheiloplecton is particularly surprising—given its well-developed false indusium and non-farinose blade, it is morphologically anomalous within the “notholaenoids”. In addition to clarifying natural relationships, the phylogenetic hypothesis presented here helps to resolve outstanding nomenclatural issues and provides a basis for examining character evolution within this diverse, desert-adapted clade.

  • Cheilanthes (Cheilanthoideae, Pteridaceae), with Emphasis on South American Species
    Organisms Diversity & Evolution (2018) 18:175–186 https://doi.org/10.1007/s13127-018-0366-6 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Further progress towards the delimitation of Cheilanthes (Cheilanthoideae, Pteridaceae), with emphasis on South American species M. Mónica Ponce1 & M. Amalia Scataglini1 Received: 20 July 2017 /Accepted: 22 April 2018 /Published online: 5 May 2018 # Gesellschaft für Biologische Systematik 2018 Abstract Cheilanthoid ferns (Cheilanthoideae sensu PPG 1 2016) constitute an important group within the Pteridaceae and are cosmopolitan in distribution. In South America, there are 155 species distributed in 13 genera, among which the largest are Adiantopsis (35), Cheilanthes (27), and Doryopteris (22). Most of the cheilanthoid species are morphologically adapted to grow in arid to semi-arid conditions and show convergent evolution, which has implied difficulties in defining the genera throughout their taxonomic history (Copeland 1947,Tryon&Tryon1973,Gastony&Rollo 1995, 1998,KirkpatrickSystematic Botany, 32:504–518, 2007, Rothfels et al. Taxon, 57: 712–724, 2008). Here, we sequenced two plastid markers (rbcL + trnL-F) of 33 South American cheilanthoid species, most of which have not been included in phylogenetic analyses previously. The South American species were analyzed together with South African and Australasian Cheilanthes and representatives of related cheilanthoid genera. The phylogenetic analysis showed that most Cheilanthes species are related to the genus Hemionitis, constituting different groups according to their distribu- tion; moreover, three species—C. hassleri, C. pantanalensis,andC. obducta—appear as the sister clade of Hemionitis. Cheilanthes micropteris, the type species, is strongly supported in a clade with Australasian Cheilanthes plus five South American Cheilanthes species, all of which show a reduction in the number of spores per sporangium; this feature would be a synapomorphy for core Cheilanthes s.s.

  • Aleuritopteris Punethae (Pteridaceae) a New Species of Silver Fern from Indian Himalaya
    Telopea 12(4) 485–489 Aleuritopteris punethae (Pteridaceae) a new species of silver fern from Indian Himalaya B.S.Kholia1 Kamlesh Bhakuni2 and R. Punetha2 1Botanical Survey of India, Sikkim Himalayan Regional Center, Gangtok, Sikkim, India 2Department of Botany, P. G. College, Pithoragarh, Uttarakhand, India Abstract A new species of Aleuritopteris, A. punethae, is here described from central Himalaya, India. This species has triangular-deltoid lamina similar to those of A. argentea and A. tamburii that also occur in the Himalayan region. Introduction Silver or Lip Ferns are widespread in the eastern and western hemispheres and exhibit a wide range of variability in frond morphology. This variability has resulted in as many as nine generic names being applied to them (Copeland 1947, Pichi-Sermolli 1978), in addition to Cheilanthes Sw. However Ching (1941), following Fée (1852), advocated that the Asian species, which differ from the American ones in having golden or white farina and a differently shaped lamina should be transferred to Aleuritopteris Fée. Tagawa (1959), Nayar (1962), Iwastuski (1988) and Kramer and Green (1990) retained the Asian species in Cheilanthes, whereas other authors, including Panigrahi (1960), Saiki (1984a, 1984b, 1984c), Shing & Wu (1990), Wu (1981), Singh and Panigrahi (2005), Smith et.al. (2006) and Fraser-Jenkins (2008) accept Aleuritopteris as distinct from Cheilanthes. The latter position is supported by the recent molecular studies of Gastony and Rolo (1995,1998) and Schuettpelz et al. (2007). During the collection of lower vascular plants from some remote areas of the Pithoragarh district, eastern Kumaon (Indian Himalaya), the authors came across a small silver fern (Fig.
